She was running from her past. He was fighting for his future. Together they face a love destined to fail before it even began.
Wes
I lost my dream. My scholarship.
My only choice was to start over, away from everything I knew and cared about.
All because my loyalty was challenged.
I was driven by anger and resentment toward the people I had once trusted with my life.
Until I was almost run off the road.
Kingsley
This was not the plan. I wasn't supposed to stay.
The course of my future changed one fateful afternoon.
I ran into him: Weston Sheats—literally.
For over a year, I remained in the shadows. The need for him to notice me, just once, made me step out of the dark.
I swore I wouldn't let him get close, wouldn't get attached. I failed.
An unexpected turn of events was the wake-up call I needed. I had to come clean. But would he accept my past?
